An Underwater Threat

Posted by Matt in May 14th, 2008

As America and its allies focus their diplomatic energy on the Middle East and Afghanistan, China continues to alter the balance of power in East Asia with little fanfare and even less resistance. Consider recent revelations that China has built a massive new naval base in Sanya, on Hainan Island. The strategically located base, which features underground facilities, provides the Chinese Navy with hard-to-monitor deep-water access to the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean region, as well as the ability to project military power in trade routes considered vital to all Asian countries. Since World war II, the U.S. Navy has policed these sea routes. Washington and its allies have provided the security that has underwritten Asia’s remarkable growth in trade and prosperity. By building a Navy capable of taking on U.S. forces, however, it seems Beijing is now seeking to contest that U.S. maritime dominance–a move that could seriously undermine peace and prosperity throughout Asia.

	Chinese Nuclear Attack on America: Submarines It is well known that the Chinese have the largest submarine fleet in the world. They have undersea bases, completely sealed to the world - for prolonged warfare in a deadly air environment. What is less well known is that the Chinese claim of needing these subs for defense of Taiwan is a ruse. The Chinese goal is the open land of America. I have had thousands of 'precognitive', or prophetic dreams in my life. This dream is a two-part dream. The first part already occurred, confirming the prophetic nature of the dream. The second part is the destruction of America in one day... indeed, I understood that everything I saw lasted less than one hour. I never saw submarines when I saw the mushroom clouds in the Gulf of Mexico or on the west coast. Here are some good sites to... Tags: america, babylon, China, dream, nuclear, prophecy, Russia, war

	China's Boomers This summer's public revelation that China has constructed two or more new ballistic missile submarines raises a number of strategic, operational and bureaucratic questions about the future of nuclear arsenals held by China and the United States. How China deploys and operates these systems, as well as how the United States responds, will significantly impact the stability of deterrence in the Pacific. The New America Foundation invites you to join five national security scholars as they participate in a round-table discussion on the subject of whether China's deterrent will go to sea and what that means for U.S. national security. As these questions play out over the next decade, these five experts are well poised to understand and inform the debate in the public sphere and policy arena.
